For BP control, should we ⬇️ sodium or ⬆️ potassium? A @Medscape debate with @hswapnil & @spjuraschek where everyone is reasonable and both sides kind of agree with each other... so the exact opposite of twitter. medscape.com/viewarticle/999…
Sodium vs Potassium for Lowering Blood Pressure

Sodium vs Potassium for Lowering Blood Pressure

Is it better to cut sodium from the diet or add more potassium to lower blood pressure? The answer may depend on where you live writes this cardiologist who interviewed two opposing editorialists.

Replying to @drjohnm @theheartorg @_triciaward
Good list! In STRONG-HF, two variables changed among treatment strategies: intensity of GDMT and speed of titration. The challenge is: to which change do we attribute the improved outcome? To make the case for rapid titration, both groups should have similar intensity of GDMT.

A new study in #JACC suggests that more people are at risk of early CV events because of elevated Lp(a) levels than from familial hypercholesterolemia. @SueHughes8 reports on this study in @Medscape: wb.md/3uaM1vY #CardioTwitter #cvPrev

Elevated Lp(a) Tied to More Early CV Events Than FH

Higher levels of lipoprotein(a) are associated with risk similar to that seen with familial hypercholesterolemia, but with risk starting as low as an Lp(a) of 70 mg/dL, new data suggest.
